The best way to whiten teeth...!

So what is the best way to whiten teeth?

A bright white smile is something we'd all like but, sadly, many things in our daily lives cause stains which discolor our teeth! Coffee, tea, tobacco, fizzy drinks, red wine, even fruit teas can deposit acid which leaves unsightly stains; certain illnesses and medication can also leave their mark. 

Some people's teeth are just more prone to staining than others and I have donated huge amounts of money to my dentist for teeth moulds that I fill with gel for the whitening process. 

Moulds and gel

I've spent large amounts of money buying the relevant gel - initially from the dentist and then from an online source. Dangerous practice? perhaps so.

I may be exagerating slightly but I appear to have spent countless uncomfortable nights with these moulds in my mouth preventing me from taking even take a drink of water. 

I have a friend who has spent ridiculous amounts of money on tooth-whitening strips but she's finally given it up because she doesn't have the time to fiddle around with them.

It builds confidence...

Although teeth will naturally darken with age, there's no doubt that a beautiful smile does add to looking and feeling youthful! It's the first thing that looks back at you from the mirror every morning. And it certainly builds confidence!

I'm sure many of you have your own tried and tested way to whiten teeth but, if not, perhaps you'd like to share my newly-found method. Nothing new under the sun of course, but to me it's a revelation and so easy.

Activated Charcoal made easy

To be honest although I saw the difference after only a couple of uses, my initial foray into loose activated charcoal was horribly messy and unpleasant!  

Eventually I discovered the perfect solution: Dr Organic Activated Charcoal Toothpaste. 

A specially prepared organic toothpaste thats a traditional clear/white coloured paste with a minty taste. Unlike a lot of other natural toothpastes, this one contains fluoride, although some people will avoid this ingredient, I like as it helps with my sensitive teeth.

My dentist recommended this and I haven’t looked back! 

Take a look at the reviews on Amazon - this one does the trick!
